I don't want the world, I just want your half.

About Me

Hmm... What would one say about me? I don't even know where to begin... God knows I hate to talk about myself....
Ha! God I'm funny. So, back to me.
Okay -- so really, I am going to have a hard time talking about myself. Not to imply that I'm not my own favorite subject, because I am, just because I have a hard time staying on one topic for a very long time. I may begin by talking about me, and end up talking about something totally unrelated, like soup. (that's not exactly unrelated, I do adore soup.)
But, my point remains.
I saw a Camel Spider the other day. (night, really) For those of you who have not yet had the pleasure, I wouldn't reccomend it. Turns out, they are big, yucky, and not scared of people. If you try to run away from one, it may well chase you. Not that I would know that or anything, I mean, I am FAR to dignified to do something silly like run away from a stupid bug that I know can't hurt me, and, by the by, isn't even really a spider. (bet you didn't think you'd learn something reading a stupid blurb, now did you? Well ha. I will educate the masses, by god.) But I did. And that part about being dignified, that was a big fat lie. I ran like a little schoolgirl. It was horrible. They (camel spiders) are big and ugly and gross and scary. Yuck. Please, for my sake, hope and pray (if you're into that sort of thing) that you never, ever, as long as you live, have an up close and personal encounter with a Camel Spider.
I have a dollar. That is 1,465.85 Iraqi Dinar. Not that anyone's counting.
I don't have a whole lot else to say. Unfortunatly for all of you (okay, all three of you) out there reading this, (did I over-estimate with three?) I don't have many good stories. Alas, I have never been to Bosnia, nor have I ever fired a .50 cal. Such is life, for those of us who opt for experience over mindless fluff. (but so few and far between we are! Perhaps we should begin some sort of revolution?)
But I must end this, this silly rant of mine, for I have a job to do in the morning, (perhaps that explains my lack of good stories, but I digress) and there is simply not enough coffee in the world to make me functional after a certain point. (mmm... coffee...) So, until anon, or perhaps,

My Interests

Eh, whatever seems right at the time.
That's not entirely true. I love books, more than is probably healthy, and old movies.
I also enjoy diamonds, furs, and handguns. (don't laugh -- I meant that.)

I'd like to meet:

If I could meet anyone, ever, in the entire span of history...

It would be me, only organized.

Okay, no. I would pay good money to meet a few people, if only I had good money...

Kurt Vonnegut is a personal hero of mine, as is Charles Bukowski, (it doesn't get much better on a heartbreak kind of day than Tom Waits on the radio, cheap blush wine, a cigarette, and Charles Bukowski's poetry) Tom Waits, (why the hell not? It's my blurb) Amory Blaine, (I know he's not real) Hawkeye Pierce, (him either) Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn, and many many others.

And of course, to top them all, Theodore Roosevelt. I will someday run for office as a member of the BullMoose Party.

Music:

All kinds -- it's all about the mood...
Tom Waits is wonderful, but so are the Sex Pistols. And virtually everything in between.
Especially the Cure. Everyone (who matters) loves the Cure.

Movies:

If it's in black and white, I probably like it. Or rediculous. I also enjoy rediculous.
A few favorites are PETRIFIED FOREST, ROMAN HOLIDAY, MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE, (The original, and damn you for having to ask.) BIG BAD LOVE, and THE BIG LEBOWSKI. I love the Dude.

Television:

THE UNIT is my new favorite show -- it's fabulous.
I love cartoons. (long live HOME MOVIES!)
Other than that, eh. It's there.
It's a medium for football. I do enjoy football.

Books:

Yes, please. All of them.
Okay, real books.
Not your typical $5.99 from the shelf at the grocery store books.
There are better uses for paper.
Give me some Nabokov, some Vonnegut, some Faulkner, and I will be happy for hours.
J.D Salinger should have a shrine erected in his honor, a tribute from the troubled youth that find a friend in Seymore Glass.
Fitzgerald should have stopped while he was ahead, but Amory's story is well worth the rest.
There are too many more for me to continue now -- but know, all my avid readers, I will be back to list the rest.
Oh! Camus! I almost forgot a personal favorite, one who belongs near the top of my list. I am hanging my head, disapointed in myself.

Heroes:

Theodore Roosevelt. How can you not love the man? A god, compared to what we have (sadly) grown accustomed to. For shame! For shame! We should defend our country, and our honor... educate yourselves, America! Look back and see what we once were, and fight to become a great nation once more! (okay, now that I have successfully alienated anyone who was still reading, and offended many of my peers, I will speak no more of this.)
